Find overlooked eBay auctions with TypoTracker
TypoTracker aims to give you an edge by letting you search eBay for common misspellings. Just type your search term, and TypoTracker will generate a list of possible typos. Click the search button and hunt for bargains.
More often than not the service is almost, but not quite useful. For example, if you're looking for a Sharp Zuarus Linux PDA, TypoTracker will search for "saurus," bringing up dozens of listings for plush dinosaur toys. Or if you're looking for items that are sold with "buy it now" prices, the seller won't discount the item just because she or he misspelled an item in the product description.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

Each eBay search you run from this YAALLEMS leaves a Commission Junction ad cookie on your browser and pays the site based on the commission structure here: http://affiliates.ebay.com/odcs/custom.htm?template=Payout . (Fat Fingers is also YAALLEMS.)
Sure, sites have to make money, so if you do use an affiliate-laden site, I suggest you use the site that gives you the best value for your click. Look up "ebay misspelling" for the dozens of choices.
